Chapter 256: The Mother and Daughter Being Watched...

"Mother, is this Lyuzhou? What a huge gate!"

Outside the large city gate, the little girl looked at the enormous gate with excitement, dancing with joy.

"Put your hand down, young lady, what kind of behavior is that!" The beautiful woman beside her tapped the girl's head, scolding her with a stern face, "Don't make such a fuss, especially when you get into the academy. If you get kicked out because of this, I want to see what you're going to do then."

"Is that an exaggeration?" The little girl stuck out her tongue, "During the Yunzhou examination, the proctors were so gentle, not at all as strict as Mother says."

"What do you know?" The woman glanced at her, "As a woman, it's not easy to stand out. Even though Lyuzhou Academy does not restrict by gender, the conventional views haven't changed. When a woman rises to the top, people just can't stand it. Otherwise, in the whole of Yunzhou, among so many girls who took the exam, how come only you passed?"
